Chapter 278: Too smooth

Fortunately, his methods are not limited to this.

The human race is cunning, and he is not that honest either.

"The Soul Devouring Seals have all been taken back. If you don't trust my Mirror Shadow Formation, you can find your new people to ask for the truth."

The Demon Lord's soul was quite considerate and not impatient, giving Zhou Ling time to go and confirm.

When Zhou Ling heard this, he was stunned at first, then turned around and smiled at the master behind him.

After being master and disciple for such a long time, Long Aotian may not understand his little disciple 100%, but they still have the necessary tacit understanding.

He didn't answer, but nodded faintly in response.

Sheng Yuan was standing aside, watching the whole process.

At first, he didn't understand how the master and disciple could communicate so smoothly with just an eye contact without speaking or using telepathy. It wasn't until Long Aotian took out the sound transmission talisman that he understood it immediately.

Please help me confirm the news. Damn it, it’s such a simple meaning, but I didn’t understand it at first!

But when did this notorious demon beast become so kind?

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Sheng Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at the location of the demon's soul.

It was unlike this beast to agree so obediently. Besides, Zhou Ling had never really agreed to the agreement between them, and had not even said it verbally.

Can the demons trust Zhou Ling so much?

Obviously not, he must have some other plan!

At this moment, Sheng Yuan really didn't dare to blink, his attention was all on Zhou Ling and the demons opposite.

He didn't dare to miss any movement of the demon, nor did he dare to relax his vigilance on Zhou Ling's safety. After all, if something went wrong, the demon might change his mind and think that in order to save his own life, he would even let go of Zhou Ling who was so close to him. It would be a waste of his soul. Then, after the negotiation was reached, he would want to kill her again.

Facts have proved that being more vigilant is a good thing, but being overly suspicious without being able to see the situation clearly may lead to mistakes.

The sound transmission note in Long Aotian's hand lit up for a moment, and he clicked it to listen in time. The answer he got was that people from the Xihai Sect had conducted a round of investigation and found that the Soul Devouring Seals had indeed been removed.

The sound was played out loud, so Zhou Ling naturally heard it and nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, can you let me go?"

The Demon Lord's soul had been staying obediently where it was, waiting for Long Aotian's reply. Now that the answer had come out, it was time to fulfill the agreement.

"You go."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling did not attack him again. Instead, he nodded calmly and waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave quickly.

The Demon Lord's soul, which was originally planning to take action, was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, this clever little girl actually nodded!

He agreed so readily, there must be something fishy going on!

Just like everyone distrusted the Demon Lord's soul, he also distrusted everyone present. They all felt that if things went smoothly, there must be a trick, and they must be trying to do something behind the scenes!

cough cough...

Although this was indeed the case and both parties were not wrong, the problem was that before the incident happened, even if the Demon Lord's soul wanted to turn against them, it could not find an excuse.

"See you again by fate!"

The backup plan was not used, just like a punch on cotton. Although the Demon Lord's soul felt aggrieved, he couldn't help but secretly say this cruel word before leaving.

It sounds ordinary, right? But if they meet again by chance, it means he will not give up his determination to kill Zhou Ling.

What is fate?

As long as he is willing, we can meet again at any time!

As he pointed out before, letting me go was like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. But in the end, I just spared the lives of a member of the Xihai Sect, and she was willing to let this tiger go back into the mountains.

It can be seen that they are soft-hearted. No matter how powerful they appear, as long as it comes to this moment, they are willing to pay a huge price to protect the weak.

The soul of the Demon Lord, who had already walked away completely, could not help but sneer. He had seen many people like this. People who were soft-hearted had weaknesses. After seeing her like this today, wouldn't it be easy for him to control her in the future?

In a short period of time, the Demon Lord's soul thought a lot in his mind, and the distance between him and Zhou Ling's group was getting farther and farther, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

When it reached a position where it could no longer sense the presence of Zhou Ling and his group behind it, the Demon Lord's soul turned its head vigilantly, made a turn, and swam quickly towards the depths of the sea.

He has not been in Xihai Sect for a long time, but as a person who has plans for everything, he also has a base here.

Although those human beings who surrendered to him and pledged allegiance to him all looked hideous and were weak humans, it was undeniable that those human cultivators were the sharpest knives in his hands.

He used magic energy to transform them to be more obedient, and it was still useful to have them around, as they could almost hit whatever he pointed at, and they also had a certain degree of adaptability. He would never have too many of these puppets, no matter how many he had.

But it is always a bit troublesome to take them with us, and we have to create a place for them to live and hide.

Look, the people he brought to Xihai Sect were placed at the bottom of the sea by him.

Originally, if this fragment of his soul wanted to reach its destination, it only needed to use the space technique once, and there was no need to rush on such a hard journey. When the demonic energy was weak, he needed to stretch his arms and swing his legs like a fish and swim forward quickly.

All this was possible thanks to the master and disciple who were good at using thunder power. They electrocuted it into this state. If he didn't surrender on his own initiative, not to mention the injuries he had suffered, he would have been reduced to ashes right there!

When he was about to reach his destination, he turned the bracelet on his wrist out of boredom, a sarcastic smile in his eyes.

Even though the trump card in the bracelet had not been used just now, the Demon Lord's soul was still certain that as long as this card was revealed, both Long Aotian and Zhou Ling would be willing to give in.

Although it is impossible to exchange life for life and force Zhou Ling to death, putting her in danger and then finding an opportunity to kill her may be the safer way.

This is the base of the Demon Lord's soul, so naturally there are people guarding the door.

Seeing him from afar, like a piece of charcoal, swimming towards them at high speed, the two guards at the door were frightened and alerted. They were holding weapons and were about to beat the warning drums, but in the end, the charcoal got closer and they realized that it was a close call! If they beat with the drumsticks and made a big mistake, they would not be able to stay with their master in the future!

"Master! You are back. Are you injured? What happened? How serious is your injury? Do you need me to call an alchemist to take a look?" (End of this chapter)
